At a recent City
Council MLGW Committee meeting, an IBEW representative stated that MLGW Smart
Meters experienced a 30 percent failure rate. The truth is only one percent of
MLGW's Smart Meters have failed in service.
Consistent with
industry studies, during the Smart Grid Demonstration MLGW retired less than one
percent of their Smart Meters due to failure from power surges and/or lightning
strikes. Additionally, MLGW's digital
electric meters have a one percent failure rate, indicating that Smart
Meters--which are digital meters with built-in communications--are no less
susceptible to failure than MLGW's standard electric meters.
